Chopping Potatoes

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 | Posted in Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing by Felix | No Comments

A relatively quick drawing while she was chopping potatoes for a pot pie. The face is a bit strange, partly because I never get the face quite right and partly because she kept moving.

Friend, Grandma & Mules Grazing

Monday, May 11th, 2009 | Posted in Abstract, Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing by Felix | No Comments

The first drawing is an attempt to draw a friend of mine. The second is an abstract drawing I drew on my way to the interring of my grandmother who recently passed. The last is a very quick attempt to capture the essence of mules grazing. I don’t consider the sketch a success.

More explorations with ink. A bit darker this time!

Creeper Colored

I posted a black and white sketch of this earlier. I’ve spent at least two hours coloring and processing it in Photoshop at this point, and I’m pretty pleased with it.

Cluttered Ink Still-Life

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 | Posted in Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing by Felix | No Comments

Drawing a bunch of junk, including a frame, a few partial mannequins, a basketball, a milk carton, and some plants. It’s a bit hard to decipher, but has some things I’m fairly pleased with. Click on the small image for a larger-sized one where you can get into the cool ink-on-newsprint texture (I must say I can’t get enough of that!)

In waiting

A fairly quick sketch done while waiting for someone. I had to mess with the levels in PS because it was not dark enough to view originally.

Reading In Bed (Again)

Here we go with a different angle on a subject I tackled two weeks ago. This time I tried just pencil instead of ink and pencil, and sat on the dresser to gain some perspective.

Perspective Study

Friday, April 24th, 2009 | Posted in Drawings, Felix, Life-Drawing by Felix | No Comments

Two drawings for the price of one! I drew this perspective study while out at the barn. Getting perspective, angles, etc. right is always a struggle for me, so this is an attempt to force myself to deal with a common problem in my drawings by confronting it head-on. I may continue this drawing later, but here’s what I’ve got for now: staring into the barn.

This next image is a freebie; I drew it on the way over to the barn, just to get my artistic juices flowing. I’d swear the fingers looked like this, but in retrospect it all looks kind of weird and the hand looks a bit doughy. So it goes!

Practicing ink drawing. I’ve got some experience at this, but still consider myself a novice. Click the drawing to open a larger version (drawing originally on 18×24” newsprint).
